Remembering The Time Prince Kicked Kim Kardashian Off Stage At A Concert

It’s been one year since Prince passed away and fans have taken to the internet today to post remembrances. In the spirit of that, we’re re-running a few articles that call attention to Prince, his life, his music, and his uniqueness.

The year was 2011, during a February 7 concert at Madison Square Garden, and Kardashian was perhaps at the height of her fame. Therefore, as Kardashian watched from the front of the audience, someone thought it was only natural to escort her onstage while Prince performed. Obviously Prince would be honored to perform in front of such greatness, right?

Wrong. Oh, so, so, wrong. The great Prince tolerated Kardashian’s awkward swaying and clapping for all of about fifteen seconds before humiliating her, scoffing, “Get off the stage!” She has little choice but to oblige him, as the audience cheered and cheered.

“But perhaps none of Prince’s contributions to pop culture are quite as succinct as the time he kicked Kim Kardashian’s stupid ass off stage at a concert.” Well done Stacey for writing my favorite sentence to be published on Uproxx in 2016!

“someone thought it was only natural to escort her onstage while Prince performed”
Prince picked her to be brought on stage. It’s at the beginning of the posted video. He points her out after the last woman was escorted down and says “she might be too sexy.” Then the stage hand escorts Kardashian up.

But you know the whole point was to get people on stage to dance with him.. And he asked her to come on stage CLEARLY in the video he kicked her off jokingly because she couldn’t dance……. This has been stated so many times and it’s clearly in the video lol so stop trying to twist it 😂
